What Does a Positive Test Result Mean?

A positive test result typically indicates that the individual tested has the disease or condition that the test is designed to detect. However, the accuracy of this result depends on the sensitivity and specificity of the test. Sensitivity refers to the test's ability to correctly identify those with the disease (true positive rate), while specificity refers to the test's ability to correctly identify those without the disease (true negative rate).
